Yeah the jumps they showed looked pretty flat. I wonder if the last minute travel is still hurting her.

Silva misses. That puts Murer up, she needs to clear on her first to regain the lead. She's the only athlete left with no misses.

A miss for Murer! Now Isi up, if she clears on her first she will take the lead.

Miss for Isi! Will she pass to the next height? Probably depends largely on what the other athletes do?

Can she break the cover curse? She hasn't had the spectacular failures of Hooker, Bolt and Robles, but if she misses this next vault she will fail to medal for the second WC in a row.

Oh that was a nice clearance by Strutz! She didn't touch the bar at all, and she looks like 4.85 is possible.

Feofanova brushed 4.75 with her chest but it stayed.

Murer had a big clear at 4.75. The video is starting to catch up with real time.

Back to real time, Silva misses her second attempt at 4.80.

Looked like Isi blew through at 4.80. She had plenty of height but it came off on the way up.
